    Global Market Trading

    Yes but only if you are from outside Canada I think.... specifically "the Island of Montreal" set this up to get some more people employed in the Markets. I'm not sure how successful its been so far.

    Global Market Trading

    I'm sorry - there's a whole bunch in Quebec right now - The location in another ad had looked familiar. The other ones I saw were actually WTS (actually not in Quebec at all) and Title ( a firm we've all heard of )

    Important, all traders read, "issues"

    A penny for your thoughts - pay a graphic designer to redo that site. I don't think it will gain too many friends or reoccurring visitors when its that hideous.

    Difficulty of EURJPY

    I don't trade FX much, but what about the fact that the yen is / can be a carry trade currency? And aside from the current macro level effects on both currencies, its about the only theory I have.

    How does propping up the stock market help?

    My theory is one of the "simplest explanation works best". The fed prints a lot of money... it has to go somewhere... The stock Market is an easy place to dump the money you just printed .... I don't think they care about the negative consequences, if any. But historically in the last 25...

    Career advice for salaried worker

    Thats a very honest statement- I used to save a ton of money when I was working in a factory, though saving money while being self-employed is harder I find. Keep up the good work, I'm sure some opportunity will present itself for you. Me - I left factory work and became a self-employed...

    Yummy - Their "ad" is posted everywhere in the jobs realm - mostly workopolis, craigslist, and especially Kijiji (I'd buy a lawnmower off kijiji, but I don't want a job from Kijiji)

    The Short Club

    It's harder to do this than shortscreen suggests, but maybe it works. http://shortscreen.com/ Also Jan.18 and Jan.25 The Barron's roundtable usually has good trade ideas for longs and shorts... Their shorts tend to be big liquid and optionable stocks, so you can get a couple of good ideas...

    Hedge Fund Performance 2009

    You'll find the same thing when testing a system against stocks this year... I noticed that historically poor stock systems are being rewarded extremely well this year, but when you test the systems that are working well this year against a 5,10, or 20 year horizon, mostly have a garbage...

    Marking timing by sentiment - opinions?

    No one here has mentioned Woody Dorsey. He has written the excellent book behavioral trading...in 2004. He has a reporting service which uses proprietary sentiment measures to profit from volatility, and from directional trades, sector rotation, and unexpected events. He has satisfied...

    Best Place for Large Deposits

    Why not just find a prop firm to trade without a deposit and use the $100k to live on for 6-12 mths (hopefully a year plus) Or take some time off and get an accreditation for trading - SEC exams, or a couple of wilmott/taleb risk management seminars.. etc... Theres a lot better things to...

    Dubai Opens Tallest Tower Partially Leased in Slump

    Plenty of people know better- these countries are financing terrorists to keep their elitist society alive while justifying tyranny and a police state to cover the mess up. Numerous examples of this exist in the middle east - have your pick.

    Way to stop housing speculation. My idea for Obama.

    The US housing system is meant to be inefficient and prone to bubbles, otherwise it would likely create a kind of deflation over time (you would only see this of course if the fed were not involved in an endless cycling of monetary expansion).... A legitimate alternative would challenge the...

    Collective2

    I think I used paypal or maybe a CC 2 years ago to pay C2. The CC has since expired. I've received no email from either the CC Company or C2 regarding their data theft. You get the impression surfing their site that nothing happened.. though I think I've seen posts where it was admitted...

    What caused inflation in the 70s?

    I think I recall reading in Market Wizards a trader who traded lumber in the 70s.. the gov't went and fixed the price of lumber for a while... people were trading away from exchanges..
